About Gloria

Gloria Anderson is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical, evidence-based care for adults navigating stress, anxiety, addictions, family challenges, trauma, and depression. She holds a Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential in Utah and Florida and brings 17 years of experience to sessions. Gloria speaks English and works with people who want clear, down-to-earth support and direction.

She starts by listening to each person’s story and recognizing their strengths.

Background and approach

Gloria frames the work as collaborative - together clients set goals and try doable strategies to reduce distress. Sessions focus on building coping skills and improving communication within relationships. Her background includes long-term work with people facing substance misuse, family-of-origin conflicts, and post-traumatic difficulties.

She draws on approaches that are evidence based and adaptable to each person’s situation. Practical tools and steady support are central to her style. Gloria is licensed as LMHC and LCMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - in Florida (FL LMHC MH10492) and Utah (UT LCMHC 11013043-6004).

She provides sessions through a variety of online formats so people in Utah can access care more easily. Starting therapy involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. Gloria emphasizes small, manageable steps so progress feels realistic and sustainable.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Gloria draws on evidence-based techniques that translate clearly to remote sessions. One common approach focuses on building practical coping skills to manage anxiety and stress. It teaches step-by-step tools for breathing, thought shifts, and activity planning that people can practice between sessions. Another approach targets patterns that keep addictive behaviors and negative family cycles in place. It looks at triggers, teaches alternative responses, and helps people set small achievable changes to reduce harm.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. Gloria partners with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. She will discuss what seems most useful and adjust the plan as progress and needs change.

Offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging makes therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video visits allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when video is not possible, and chat or text supports quick check-ins and ongoing encouragement. The range of formats gives flexibility so people can keep working toward goals from home or on the go.
